Fathers-To-Be supports expectant and new dads by 

reinforcing their relationship with themselves, their partners,

their babies, and the health professionals caring for the family.

Fathers...supporting empowered, fulfilled

and satisfied mothers.

Welcome...

Fathers, mothers, midwives, doulas, childbirth practitioners,

educators and everyone interested in new possibilities for the family.

"For the majority of mothers, one of the most important

ingredients for a successful pregnancy, birth and breastfeeding 

is the quality of care she receives from the father." Patrick M. Houser

Today’s fathers are participating more than ever before in the birth and up-bringing of their children. This can have a strong impact on the family. Research has established the importance of a father's contribution in his children's early life.

Practical and emotional fitness for the transition to fatherhood can be learned/awakened and is very useful.

How healthcare professionals welcome fathers is significant to the whole family system.

Fathers-To-Be offers men effective preparation for fatherhood through practical education. Riding the waves of pregnancy, birth and early fatherhood involves supporting a woman’s rhythm while learning to maintain your own balance.

Fathers-To-Be provides study days for childbirth practitioners and educators including how to facilitate their  working relationship with fathers. We also consult with healthcare organisations and Trusts in support of their whole-family and birthcare practices.

FATHERS TO BE HANDBOOK

A Road Map for the

Transition to Fatherhood

by

Patrick M. Houser

"As fatherhood approached

I found very few ways to sustain my experience as a man who was about to become a father. Patrick's book gave

me an opportunity to explore my relationship with myself, my

partner and my father.”

Jamie, new dad, London

It has a joyous and optimistic tone...

I think it could well be very helpful

for many dads and families.
